After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Retracting her mind, Shen Ruoyan continued to ask: "Are you sure Zhang Tao is not interested in Tian Xiaoyu?"

Ying Zijiao said that Zhang Tao and Tian Xiaoyu were friends who grew up together. Doesn't this also confirm the rumors that the two of them are close friends?

Maybe it was because Ying Zijiao liked Zhang Tao, so she didn't find out and didn't want to find out that Zhang Tao actually liked someone else.

"Of course!" Ying Zijiao answered with certainty, "Brother Tao is enthusiastic. Seeing that Sister Xiaoyu is pitiful and her father can't do any hard work, he often goes to her house to help with some hard work.

But every time I went to Sister Xiaoyu's house, Brother Tao would drag me along, and he even asked me in private if I would be unhappy if he saw him helping Sister Xiaoyu. "

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan became even more confused about the relationship between the three of them.

If Zhang Tao really had an affair with Tian Xiaoyu, how could he drag Ying Zijiao there with him?

Could it be that everything the outside world says is false?

Is the person in Zhang Tao's heart actually Ying Zijiao?

Then he had murderous intentions because his lover was snatched away by Zhao Tianle, so the motive for the murder is completely untenable.

Shen Ruoyan turned her head and was about to continue asking when she saw Ying Zijiao staring blankly at a few children chasing each other not far away, with faint tears in her eyes.

Ying Zijiao recalled in ecstasy: "When I was a child, I was like them, playing behind Brother Tao all day long.

When I was a child, I was a complete tomboy. I didn’t look like a girl at all. My favorite game was to catch thieves, but the boys all despised me because I was weak. They didn’t want to choose me every time they formed a team. Only Brother Tao would pull me along. My hand, let me join his ranks.

His hand was big and warm. When he held it, I felt like the happiest person in the world.

Maybe from that time on, I fell in love with him. "

At this point, Ying Zijiao stopped and let out a long sigh.

In the eyes of others, she and Zhang Tao were just friends. After losing the person she had loved since childhood, Ying Zijiao had no right to cry. She was afraid of the gossip from her neighbors, so she only dared to speak out about her relationship with Zhang Tao in front of a stranger, Shen Ruoyan. of this relationship.

After taking off her cheerful disguise, Ying Zijiao's whole body was like a flower that had lost its moisture, completely wilted.

"Since Brother Tao left, I often wonder, if I were a few years older, would the two of us be able to..." The next words got stuck in his throat and turned into a low whimper.

Afraid of being seen by others, Ying Zijiao buried her face in her hands, leaving only her twitching shoulders.

Shen Ruoyan patted her back gently.

If what Ying Zijiao said is true, then she and Zhang Tao should love each other.

In order to protect the girl's reputation, Zhang Tao only waited until she grew up to clarify the matter.

However, God did not wish.

Before this relationship could be expressed in words, the two were separated forever.

She hadn't even heard a serious word of love from the other party.

Shen Ruoyan did not continue to speak, only waiting for Ying Zijiao to vent her long-pressed sadness. Until she had cried enough, Ying Zijiao wiped her face with her sleeves and said to Shen Ruoyan with wet eyes: "Girl, Brother Tao must be was wrongly accused.

If you don't believe what I say, you can go and ask around about Brother Tao's character. No one here will say anything bad about him.

Yesterday, people from the Zhao family came to Brother Tao's house to cause trouble for grandma. A group of people with sticks broke in and smashed everything they saw. Grandma was also frightened and fell ill. Thanks to Neighbors banded together to drive them away.

You see, how could a good man like Brother Tao do such a thing as murder? "

Shen Ruoyan thought of the simple thatched house she had just seen and the pile of debris in the corner, and realized that it was all smashed by people sent by the Zhao family.

The Zhao family has a great business, and they must have a grudge against the real culprit who killed their son, but Zhang Tao's people were all dead, so they had no choice but to trouble his family.

Poor Zhang Tao's grandmother, the mother-in-law lost her relatives one after another. In the last few years of her life, she stayed alone in this dilapidated home, waiting for death.

Shen Ruoyan took out a banknote from her sleeve, stuffed it into Ying Zijiao's hand, and said: "You accept this money for Grandma Zhang Tao, and then find someone to help her renovate the house, and let her keep the rest." Use it around you.”

The tragedy has happened. Shen Ruoyan cannot bring the dead back to life. She can only do her best to make the people still living in this world live a better life.

Ying Zijiao didn't shirk, she said thank you and accepted the banknote.

Before parting, Ying Zijiao pulled Shen Ruoyan's sleeve and said, "Girl, I know you are capable. Please investigate the truth of the matter and give Brother Tao justice."

Shen Ruoyan patted Ying Zijiao on the back, nodded, and responded cautiously.

Publicly or privately, she will investigate the matter clearly.

After walking out of the thatched hut, the carriage resumed driving on the bustling streets. Shen Ruoyan felt a little depressed after learning the story of Ying Zijiao and Zhang Tao, but she did not forget her main purpose now.

If what Ying Zijiao said is true, then it seems that there is something fishy about Zhao Tianle's death.

Shen Ruoyan raised her voice and said to the secret guard driving the car to go to Zhao Mansion, and Shen Ruoyan rushed to Zhao Tianle's home without stopping.

Compared with the shabby thatched house just now, although the Zhao family has been rebuilt, the red walls and green tiles reflect the wealth of the owner.

After explaining the purpose of his visit to the concierge, the waiter welcomed Shen Ruoyan in happily.

Because someone had died, white sails were hung everywhere in the Zhao Mansion. The servants were in a hurry, with heavy expressions on their faces.

Shen Ruoyan offered Zhao Tianle a stick of incense and was about to ask Mr. Zhao where he was now when she heard a howling sound coming from outside.

Originally, someone in the Zhao family had died, so it was not surprising to hear cries here, but the cries did not sound like grief, but more like a desperate roar.

Shen Ruoyan was very curious and walked out looking for the sound.

After passing through a wall, Shen Ruoyan came to the backyard and saw several people dressed as servants pulling a woman and trying to stuff her into a bamboo cage.

The woman struggled desperately and kept begging for mercy to the two ladies standing aside: "Madam! Madam! I am innocent. You have to believe me. I have nothing to do with Zhang Tao! I was wronged !”

The two people standing on one side were one old and one young. The younger one was Zhao Tianle's wife, whom he had met in court that day, while the older one should be Zhao Tianle's mother.
